Congratulations Keefer

The full announcement, as well as Keefer’s submission, can be found here.

I first met Keefer during his very first semester at the University of Guelph during one of the bi-weekly meetings of the GCC. During the meeting, Keefer gave a short talk on Tokumei – an anonymous social networking platform that he and a friend had developed. Based on this, I asked him to drop by to chat with me and Dr. McCuaig about potential opportunities. Since then, he has been an invaluable member of the Immediate Feedback System, and the eNuk – Health and Environmental Monitoring Programteams.

In the past year, Keefer has also received the Jay Majithia Award in Computer Science, and funding to attend the PyCon2017 conference in Montreal. You can also check out one of his talks – Doom, Gloom, and the Internet – that he presented at StarCon, below.

Some of the research and work presented here takes place in the ancestral and continued homelands of the original peoples of Labrador: the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Inuit of NunatuKavut, the Innu of Nitassinan, and their ancestors. Some of our work also takes place on the ancestral lands of the Katzie, and Lummi people. Finally, we acknowledge that the University of Guelph resides in the ancestral and treaty lands of the Attawandaron people and the Mississaugas of the Credit, and we recognize and honour our Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Métis neighbours.
